This Victorian games and work table dates from circa 1860 and is constructed from rich brown burr walnut with a warm patina. The shaped rectangular top opens on a hinge to reveal an interior fitted with inlaid chess and backgammon boards, alongside scoring details and counters. Beneath the frieze hangs a pleated pink fabric storage basket. The structure rests on turned pedestal supports and a central turned stretcher, terminating in carved scroll feet fitted with small brass castors. Measuring 74 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 42 cm deep, this multi-functional piece operates as a traditional games table or an occasional table. It suits placement in a bay window, living room, or study, providing both surface utility and enclosed storage for gaming pieces and sewing work within a domestic interior.

FAQs

A Victorian games and work table is a dual-purpose piece of occasional furniture crafted during the nineteenth century, designed to accommodate social board games as well as storage for needlework and embroidery materials.

These tables were typically constructed using fine hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, frequently enhanced with burr veneers, brass hardware, and silk or pleated fabric lining for the lower sewing well.

Authentic pieces generally display distinct grain patterns of burr walnut veneer, hand-carved pedestal supports, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, original brass castors, and a pleated fabric or wooden drop-down basket.

A Victorian work table functions well as a decorative side table or accent piece in living rooms, hall spaces, or bay windows, serving as a functional storage table or compact desk.

Burr walnut veneers should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying and cracking. Regular dusting with a soft cloth and periodic application of high-grade beeswax protects the timber finish.
